Description: The West End Tavern has been Boulder's favorite spot for cold beer and good eats since 1987. The Tavern brings you a menu of delicious home-style American cuisine, while the West End bar is THE local authority on boozy goodness. Pull up your favorite stool or cozy into the best booth and find out what's good.

I had a great opportunity to visit the western slope and met up with friends at what turned out to be a fantastic local watering hole know as The West End Tavern. Go for the drinks, go for the great food, go for the beautiful CU coeds. Whatever reason you pick; JUST GO!! While my service was not the best, largely due to younger, college-age staff, the great drinks (martinis and beers in my group) and great food were more than sufficient to make me desire a return trip!

I wanted to go here after seeing the restaurant on Man vs. Food. My fiance loves wings and if they can get somebody to want to eat 50 of them (Wing Challenge), they must be good. Unfortunately, I was expecting a bar with great wings. However, it was a little more upscale than I had expected. Both the clientele and wait staff were a little more formal than I had anticipated. There was a band playing on the rooftop patio and it was very loud to the point of yelling over our meal to be heard. You also couldn't really see anything from the patio besides other buildings. The food on their menu is more cuisine than bar food and you pay for that. I had a BBQ meal-their special that night. The food and service was very good as were my fiance's wings with homemade blue cheese dressing. It was just a little pricier and more upscale than the burger-and-wing-serving tavern I thought I would be visiting.

We dine out a lot at home and when we vacation and the West End Tavern is a place we would frequent if we lived in Boulder. The service was excellent, the waiter very helpful. The food was very good - if you want healthy good tasting food, this is the place for you. The ribs were so tender and served with homemade fries and coleslaw, my husband really enjoyed them and he's pretty fussy. I had the fried Mahi Mahi with yam fries and cole slaw - again delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant - we may be back for the burgers.

The food was awful; I did not know anyone could mess up burgers to that extent. The fries were awful as well. But most of all the wait was horrible, and our server as rude... save your money and get a better burger at Burger King

We popped in for a quick drink and were intrigued when the person at the door said that there was a roof-top bar. We went up and were able to find one table left. They have an excellent margarita and the wait staff is knowledable and friendly. I wasn't wild about the roof-top bar though because it was just too many people in a small space for me. It would probably be great during a slow time when it isn't so packed. It is also a covered roof and I did not see that there is much of a view, at least from my vantage point (could be a killer view from the other side which is reserved for diners). I wouldn't try to dissuade any one from trying it out. I'd just suggest checking it out when it isn't so busy.
